Best For
Gamers who need a responsive, compact keyboard with long battery life and RGB lighting; programmers and writers who value a quiet, soft typing experience and desk‑space efficiency; multi‑device users (Windows, macOS, iOS/Android) who benefit from seamless Bluetooth switching; keyboard enthusiasts who enjoy hot‑swappable switches and customization; streamers/content creators who can showcase custom GIFs on the LCD screen.
Not Ideal For
Users who require a fully configurable firmware (VIA/QMK) or advanced software features; minimalists who dislike an always‑on screen; tactile‑switch purists who find the default Cream linear switches too soft; professionals needing an IP‑rated, water‑resistant keyboard; anyone needing a longer wired cable out of the box.
Expert Opinion
Enthusiast reviewers praise the M87 for delivering high‑end features—gasket mounting, a smart LCD screen, dual knobs, and hot‑swappable switches—at a sub‑$100 price, noting its solid build quality and excellent sound tuning. The main criticism centers on the rudimentary RK Launcher software and the inability to disable the always‑on LCD, which limits advanced customization compared to VIA/QMK‑compatible boards.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the compact 75% layout, the buttery typing feel from the gasket mount, the massive battery life, and the novelty of the LCD screen and dual knobs. Recurring complaints focus on shipping damage to keycaps or stabilizers, the non‑functional calculator key on macOS, the linear Cream switches being too soft for some, and the LCD’s lack of an off switch.
Common Complaints
Loose or damaged keycaps and stabilizer pads upon arrival; calculator key not working on macOS without remapping; Cream switches perceived as too soft; LCD screen cannot be turned off; short USB‑C cable length; lack of IP rating.
What People Are Saying
“Perfect form factor—compact but keeps all essential keys”
“LCD screen is awesome—love showing off custom GIFs”
“Keycaps arrived loose—had to reseat several, one was cracked”
“Screen is always on—no option to turn it off completely”
